The G-5 was designed for players that need some of the tech advantages (like altered tunings and different guitar models) but don't want to go deep like you can with the GR-55. It was designed to be simple and powerful at the same time.

I kept mine one month before I became too attached. The battery drain was horrendous. I would like to know how this is powered.

I guess if there's no 13-pin output, it all must be built-in. I like that--I've got enough stuff on the floor anyway. Looking forward to trying one--if they've fixed the tracking delay that plagued the early Line 6 stuff, this should really be something!
